Another piece of the puzzle for those that still don't get it: both of these airmen would have had to instruct hundreds of more hours teaching basic airmanship which include STALLS. I capitalize the word stalls to help those that are still not connecting all the clues. The bottom line, this accident would not of happened if both of these pilots would have entered airline flying with ATP minimums.
1. 1500 hours is an arbitrary number. Some people can "get it" way before 1500. Others may need more than 1500.
2. There is no CFI requirement in this rule.
3. I can see your point, but nobody can say this accident would not have happened if they had ATP minimums.
I continue to see a lot of posts saying that if you have the hours, you are qualified. This is wrong on so many levels!
